Minecraft Forums

I have a friend that I only know from online (Never met IRL) and I keep asking him to try Minecraft but he doesn't like single player games and would only be interested in playing the game multi player. I was just wondering if there is any way that he could play online with his non legitimate Minecraft version. I understand this sounds terrible but I know he would buy it if he wished to continue playing. Any help would be much appreciated.

It is possible. He has to get an account here:


www.minecraft.net

Tell him minecraft is the best game ever and if he dosen't BUY it now he will never know how to survive against zombies in the future.

I keep telling him that it is well worth the $15 even for just the singleplayer but he is really a multiplayer only kind of guy XD

But no, there is no way to play MP without a legit copy.

Poop. I guess I'll just have to live without him playing the game. lol

Just tell him to play the classic(free) version of multiplayer...if he likes it then tell him to watch some machinima videos about minecraft. He will be forced to buy it just like everyone else

Classic free version of multiplayer?

yah minecraft classic has free mutiplayer


but its classic

as in boring XD

Oh God, don't have him play the classic. I played classic and thought this "Minecraft" thing was stupid. I then, on impulse, just bought the damn game and I haven't looked back since.

Well..classic version is a little dumb but thats probably the only way he's gonna be able to play multiplayer without buying the game.

How do you get the classic version? Off of Minecraft.net? Because I think the website is down.

online-mode=false

You'll have to host the server and put up with name changing griefers though

Do NOT pirate it, if he REALLY wants to try SMP be a good friend and let him use your account

OP hasn't bought the game
OP just buy the damn game if you want to play MP, piracy isn't cool
